Red snapper sure is good but back to the flounder. I caught the tide right about dusky dark to ease from the crab dock in my 12 foot pond boat and have a look around with my big heavey brighteyes and a $200 led head and guess what? It works like a charm, better for finding fish than coon eyes. I must have floated over 100 , that I could even see and I am not the best for seeing flounder but I am probably the best I ever saw for finding coons. Trouble is, we have a 14 inch limit , and I believe these were all 131/2. Maybe they will grow. Second crop of sweetcorn is coming in though and that front yard coon has had better sense than to mess with it. I got invaded by a crop of deer Saturday night while I was hanging out. I did not need to rototill , the tracks covered the works. They ate cowpeas mostly, silks off second crop of corn, Okra of all things , cucumber and cantalope but left the watermelon alone for some odd reason and some Mexican clover scattered that I did not hoe. Me and the deer always had an understanding around here but my son killed a wallhanger in December so I guess all bets are off. I saw some tonight when I went out to move the garden hose that has been running non stop. We are dry. I had to stomp my feet and clap me hands and say "git out of Hyar" . Very unusual for deer, they usually HA. I guess they are becoming acclimated to their surroundings. And since my family has lived in that house since 1866 after Sherman burnt the other one down. I do not confess to live in the deer's habitat, Heck no, they are invading Mine. I got a half breed puppy staked out where the garden forks to do patrol work. I feed her donuts and she is getting a big ole hiney on her. I hope this one is better than last year, she would give those deer a free pass. Which brings me back to Floridah Hunters that come up here to have a "Wilderness Experience" shooting up our tame deer. I guess life is a stage and we are all just actors if YOU can believe that.
